Photon, yes I do live rural. not as rural as it used to be. And Ice IS correct. I do need a pistol at times. I carry when I brush hog– in case a mama coyote takes exception to mowing near her den, or a two legged varmint hiding in the tree line h…

A little over 10 years ago, I was in the "why do you need a pistol" crowd. Understood long guns, had a couple. Fast forward a couple years, I bought a crappy, worn out .357 revolver to help someone out financially. That. Was. All. She. …

Hahahahaha. Had me for a second. Sent it to DH. So like him. I have to admit, I have a little bit of "want". But no $$$. I do peruse holsters every chance I get. Purse carry isn’t working, unless I carry the purse.Statistics: Posted …

Is there a gun range nearby? Even if they don’t rent they should be willing to try to help you find resources.
Maybe an ad on armslist.com to meet at a gun range. An ad to join a ladies shooting group? Call a ccw instructor, maybe he can help

Ice, you posted while I was, too. The solo is sweet and sexy. I waited on the call list for 8 months and bought the ruger a couple days before they called me about the solo. LC9 was much less $$$ and very nice.

I have both lcp and lc9. Lcp fits poorly in women’s pants pockets(can hardly conceal a quarter in women’s pants pockets), but does go in. It get lost in my men’s shorts pockets ( men get cavernous pockets). I can conceal it in the flash bang bra holster. Not flat chested or boy built.
My 9 I can carry in a jacket pocket, or iwb if I’m wearing a sweater. I’m kinda pudgy and have a very short waist.
The slide thing. Are you pulling or pushing? Out in front or using your chest to support your forearms? I have very bad wrists and often numb-ish thumbs and fingers and I can do it. I don’t pinch it with my fingers and thumb, I more use a monkey grip (?)
It would be nice if you knew someone with those guns near you to let you try. Gun club? CCW instructor? Gun shop owner? I would if you were near me.
I exercised my own judgement, contrary to DH’s recommendations (lol) and not sorry. He’d have me carry a glock or a revolver in weird sizes. When I holstered his weapon on me the way he carries, I looked like a, um, “gifted” man. To much firearm for my britches.
My musings.
